I've been playing on EU servers for a long time, and I've noticed that recent geopolitical events have made some pre-existing issues much worse. It's not about politics for its own sake; it's about how these events directly impact our gaming experience.
The Problem: For years, a significant number of players from Russia have been a source of frustration. They often don't speak English, which makes teamwork and communication nearly impossible. More frustratingly, cheating seems to be common, with a lot of "rage-toggling" that completely ruins the competitive integrity of matches.
The Connection: The current geopolitical climate has brought these issues into sharp focus. With the ongoing conflict, it feels more important than ever to address these long-standing problems. Banning players from a specific region isn't just about punishment; it's about improving the quality of the game for everyone. It's a way to use the current situation as a catalyst to finally solve a persistent problem.
A Win-Win Solution: Creating a separate server for players in their region would not only solve the communication and cheating issues on EU servers but also allow them to play on a server with people from their own culture. This would lead to a better experience for everyone, creating a more cohesive player base and improving the overall quality of games. It's a pragmatic solution that benefits everyone involved. The only loser here is president Putin that would have alot of rageful youth wanting the war in ukraine to stop.
What are your thoughts on using this moment to finally address these long-standing issues with the Putin-lovers?
